Chapter 683: Breaking Through the Array, A Bloody Battle in the Passage

"I understand," Lin Xuan said firmly.

"This is my mission, and it is the responsibility of us all."

"No matter what happened in the past, we now have only one goal."

"Stop the awakening of the Yuan Gu Moshen and protect this world."

Xuantianzi breathed a sigh of relief; what he feared most was that Lin Xuan would refuse to cooperate.

After all, the attitude of the righteous cultivators toward Lin Xuan was so hostile that anyone else might have harbored resentment.

But Lin Xuan's answer proved that he had indeed regained his reason and understood his responsibility.

"Very good," Xuantianzi nodded and said.

"Now let us concentrate all our power and find a way to break this barrier."

Although Jian Wuchen still held a grudge in his heart, he also nodded.

"For the survival of the cultivation world, our Heavenly Sword Sect is willing to cooperate with you temporarily."

"But this does not mean we have forgiven your crimes."

"Once this crisis passes, the accounts between us will still need to be settled."

Wuyuanzi gritted his teeth and said, "I have the same thought."

"Cooperation now, but a reckoning must come in the future."

Abbot Fahui's attitude softened slightly: "Benefactor Lin Xuan, I hope you can prove your repentance with actual actions."

Nezha and Zhang Wuji stood by Lin Xuan's side, their expressions firm.

No matter how others viewed it, they would always support their friend.

"Since everyone agrees to cooperate, let us begin," Xuan said.

"I have studied the structural principles of this evil barrier."

"Purely violent attacks are indeed ineffective because it absorbs and Zhuanghua all energy."

"But if we can launch attacks from multiple different angles simultaneously, perhaps we can exceed its Zhuanghua limit."

Jian Wuchen frowned and said, "You mean to have everyone attack together?"

"But in that case, if we fail, all of our power will be absorbed by the barrier."

"At that point, the barrier will become even stronger, and we will have absolutely no chance left."

Xuantianzi nodded: "There is indeed a risk, but this is our only chance."

"According to divination, there is not much time left for us."

"If we cannot enter the interior of the dead volcano as soon as possible, everything will be too late."

Lin Xuan carefully observed the changes in the Rune on the barrier and suddenly thought of something.

"Wait, I have an idea."

"The arrangement of these Rune is very regular; they should have a Core point where energy gathers."

"If we can find that Core point, a concentrated attack might be more effective."

Xuantianzi's eyes lit up: "That makes sense; let me use divination arts to search for it."

He took out the tortoise shell and copper coins used for divination and began to calculate carefully.

The others formed a circle, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Although there was still deep hatred and distrust between them, faced with a common threat, they chose to cooperate temporarily.

This cooperation might be fragile, but at least it provided a glimmer of hope for stopping the disaster.

"Found it!" Xuantianzi suddenly pointed to a certain position on the barrier.

"Right there, the energy of all the Rune converges to that one point."

"If we can concentrate our firepower to attack that position, perhaps we can destroy the stability of the entire barrier."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and indeed discovered that the Rune at that position were particularly bright.

And one could vaguely see energy currents gathering within them.

"Everyone, prepare!" Xuantianzi shouted.

"Use your strongest attacks and aim for that Core point!"

"Success or failure hinges on this one move!"

Dozens of cultivators simultaneously channeled their cultivation, and the light of various spells converged in the air.

Golden sword Qi, five-colored Dharma techniques, the golden light of the Buddha Sect, the thunder arts of the Dao Sect...

Everyone brought out their best skills.

Even Nezha and Zhang Wuji went all out, the Fire-Tipped Spear and the Heaven-Reliant Sword erupting with unprecedented power.

"Attack!"

Xuantianzi quickly analyzed the structure of the black barrier, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

As one of the most excellent Array masters in the cultivation world, he could see the terrifying nature of this barrier.

"This is the Blood Soul Great Array, a defensive Array constructed with blood and souls as energy."

"To break it, one can only use more powerful frontal force to shake it hard."

"There is no technique to speak of; we must concentrate everyone's power to have a glimmer of hope."

He pointed to the Core point on the barrier where the Rune were most dense.

"All attacks must be concentrated on the same point; scattered attacks will only be devoured one by one."

"And we only have one chance; if we fail, the barrier will become even stronger."

Lin Xuan stood at the very front of the team without hesitation.

"I will take the lead in the attack."

The Creation Bloodline within his body began to erupt with full force, the golden light as brilliant as the scorching sun.

This light formed a sharp contrast with the evil barrier, as if it were the ultimate showdown between light and darkness.

Jian Wuchen looked at Lin Xuan's back, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Although there was still resentment in his heart, he had to admit that Lin Xuan truly possessed the powerful strength to confront evil.

"Heaven Sword Sect, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"

Jian Wuchen drew the Long Sword from his back, and thousands of Jianying instantly split off from the blade.

These Jianying converged in the air into a massive sword of light, emitting a sharp sword intent.

Wuyuanzi was not to be outdone, his hands quickly forming seals.

"Five Elements Rotation, Ten Thousand Dharmas Return to One!"

Five different colors of light surged from his body, the Five Elements Power of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth rotating and merging in the air.

Ultimately, they formed a massive five-colored sphere of light, containing power capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

Abbot Fahui pressed his palms together, and a golden phantom of a Buddha Sect figure appeared behind him.

"Tathagata Divine Palm!"

The Buddha Sect phantom slowly raised its palm, the center of the palm flickering with compassionate yet majestic golden light.

Although this palm print appeared gentle, the power contained within it was enough to move mountains and fill seas.

Cultivators from other sects also unleashed their own ultimate techniques one after another.

Lightning arts, fire techniques, ice blades, and storms—the light of various spells converged in the air.

Dozens of different attacks gathered together, forming a dazzling, colorful torrent.

"Attack!" Xuantianzi shouted.

All attacks simultaneously slammed into the Core point of the barrier.

Lin Xuan's light of creation arrived first, the golden radiance crashing fiercely against the black barrier.

Following closely was Jian Wuchen's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, countless Jianying pouring down like a rainstorm.

Wuyuanzi's Five Elements Rotation followed right behind, the five-colored sphere of light erupting with astonishing might.

Abbot Fahui's Tathagata Divine Palm, carrying the righteous energy of the Buddha Sect, struck heavily against the surface of the barrier.

The attacks of the other cultivators also bombarded the same point in continuous succession.

Under such dense attacks, the sturdy black barrier finally developed cracks.

First a tiny fissure, then it rapidly expanded into spiderweb-like cracks.

The blood-red Rune on the surface of the barrier began to flicker violently, emitting a harsh hissing sound.

"It's working!" Nezha shouted excitedly.

But just at this moment, the damaged barrier launched an automatic counterattack.
